Overview
- Nottingham Forest and Newcastle drew 1-1 on Sunday at the City Ground after Harvey Barnes scored in the 74th minute and Elliot Anderson equalised in the 88th.
- The point leaves Forest 15th on 43 points and they will be safe if West Ham lose to Arsenal later today.
- The draw dents Newcastle’s faint European hopes and, according to local reporting, confirms they are now mathematically safe from relegation.
- Eddie Howe’s squad was depleted, with Lewis Miley out for the season after fibula surgery, Tino Livramento unlikely to return this campaign, and Fabian Schär’s comeback still uncertain.
- Forest entered the match drained by a 4-0 Europa League semi-final loss to Aston Villa and injury absences, yet they stretched their league unbeaten run to eight under Vítor Pereira.
